Antique & Victorian Cast Iron Baths

Unique Enamelling Services restore Antique Victorian Cast Iron Baths. Old cast iron roll-top baths are delivered to us and then enamelled or re-enamelled to the highest standards. We are enamellers of both Victorian English & period French baths and always have a wide range of cast iron baths for sale.

Enamelling/Re-Enamelling

The enamelling process is sometimes referred to as re-enamelling or vitreous enamelling. You can read all about the process of re-enamelling a cast iron bath here. Our bath showroom has a wide range of enamelled iron baths to choose from but we mainly specialize in the restoration of old cast iron baths. Some people refer to the baths we restore as Victorian, Roll-Top, Period or Antique.

Bath Restoration

Unique Enamelling Services have been restoring reclaimed baths for customers with a genuine appreciation for Antique & Victorian Cast Iron Baths for over 15 years. The restoration process is something that takes years to master and that is why we are one of the leading restorers of cast iron baths in the UK.

What is Vitreous Enamel?

Vitreous enamel is a type of glass which is used as a decorative or engineering finish on metal. Vitreous enamel has all of the properties associated with glass – hardness, scratch and graffiti resistance, colour stability, and fire resistance.

Original Period Cast Iron Baths

At Unique Enamelling Services there is always a wide selection of original period cast iron baths for sale. These are all Antique Victorian baths that have been refurbished and re-enamelled with Vitreous Enamel by Unique Enamelling Services. The Period Cast Iron Baths we have for sale are at unbeatable prices and can be finished in any Farrow & Ball Colour.

About Us

Unique Enamelling Services was founded in 1997. At the outset, our sole intention was to supply architectural antique dealers a service of vitreous enamelling their old cast iron baths. Because we are the only company in the UK specialising in vitreous enamel, our name and reputation spread quickly, particularly within the antique and reclamation/restoration trade. Since then, we have invested in an additional brand new custom built electric furnace and find that we are not only servicing the trade but also the public. Unique Enamelling Services Ltd is a small family business, and because of this we have the advantage of being flexible in terms of accommodating our customers’ requirements.

During our time as vitreous enamellers we have been very privileged in the knowledge that we have undertaken work belonging to royalty and several celebrities. Our reputation has meant that customers with cast iron baths requiring our vitreous enamel process have found their way to us from every corner of the UK and Europe. In addition to our vitreous enamel service, we offer a shotblasting service (for example, old radiators) and enamelling of cast iron sinks and classic car cast iron manifolds.
